The Rift Cracker is an item in Into the Nexus. Created by Pollyx, it is a software upgrade for Clank that allows him to cross into the Netherverse.
While Pollyx was held on Yerek by Neftin Prog, he created the Rift Cracker as a highly experimental fusion of transdimensional portal technology and robotic systems.[1] During "Find Pollyx", when Ratchet and Clank discovered Pollyx on Yerek, he installed the Rift Cracker on Clank without explanation,[2] and in "Test the Rift Cracker", urged him to use it to break free a nether "for science". He then asked them to bring it into the reality to set off a violent earthquake, but when Clank asked why, Pollyx simply replied that he was bored.[3] Clank used the Rift Cracker throughout his adventure, and in "Find Vendra Prog", used it to rescue Vendra Prog from the Netherverse.
